Neeranam Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) I've figured out how to make Chrome open on a homepage I want, however when I open a new tab it always comes up with this rubbish - (removed) How can I get rid of this, and what is it and where did it come from?

Chicog Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Go to Settings, look for "On Startup". If you have "Open a specific page or set of pages" selected, click on "Set Pages" and remove the crap ones. Oh, and if it happens again, you need to find out if it's being set by malicious code from a website or adware/spyware/malware on your PC. Can you describe what was in the "Rubbish" page? It's difficult for us to diagnose if some overzealous mod removes it. Edited November 25, 2012 by Chicog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did find a youtube video saying how to remove it but that didn't work - the home page is fine but it's when I open a new tab it goes to this sweetIM thing.
